Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions
related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, Subcommittee SC
16, Chemical analysis, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical
Committee CEN/TC 139, Paints and varnishes, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 17895:2005), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the document has been technically revised;
— used methods have been further specified;
— normative references have been updated.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Paints and varnishes — Determination of volatile organic
compound (VOC) — Gas-chromatographic method with
headspace injection for VOC determination
WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment.
This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is
the responsibility of users of this document to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and
health of personnel prior to the application of the document, and to determine the applicability of
any other restrictions for this purpose.
1 Scope
This document specifies the sampling and testing of low volatile organic compound (VOC) coating
materials and their raw materials. In particular, this document specifies a gas-chromatographic method to
quantitatively determine the VOC content (i.e. the content of organic compounds with boiling points up to
250 °C) under standard conditions (101,325 kPa). It is applicable to VOC contents between 0,01 % and 0,1 %
by mass.
This document does not apply to the determination of the semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) content,
which is covered in ISO 11890-2.
This document does not apply to volatile organic and volatile inorganic compounds that cannot be
determined by gas chromatography.
The procedure for identifying the appropriate method for the determination of VOC content and the SVOC
content of coating materials and their raw materials is described in ISO/TR 5601.
2 Normative references
